Title: Change CD key in WinXP pre-activation
Post by: tHEaNTImIKE on October 09, 2003, 04:51:24 PM

I recently had to re-install WinXP on a computer at work and was unable to find the original license so I used the CD key from another computer.  Before I got around to the activation, I found the original key.  Now I need to find out how I can change the key to the right one with having to install again. /rolleyes.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':rolleyes:\' />

You don't have to change the key at all before you re-activate. As long as the key is valid that's all that matters.  By the way your the only person I've heard of that actually activates XP. If you want to change the key and find out how to bypass activation register with this site and send me a personal message and I'll tell you how. /ph34r.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':ph34r:\' />
